Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FED. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0FED to binary:
00001111 11101101
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100000 10111111 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+0FED is a unique symbol that holds significant importance in digital typography. It serves as an essential element for representing specific characters in certain alphabets and scripts, particularly within non-Latin writing systems. This character code is predominantly used to encode the Latin letter "G" with a stroke through the vertical bar (|) of the lowercase "g". Although U+0FED may not be as widely recognized or utilized as other Unicode characters, it holds great value for those working with specialized typography and specific scripts. Its cultural and linguistic relevance is often found in niche areas like programming languages, cryptographic markings, or unique text formatting requirements. Despite its relatively obscure role, the character U+0FED remains an indispensable part of digital text representation and symbol encoding.
